During the meeting, Speaker Devraj Ghimire emphasized that MPs should dedicate their full time to parliamentary sessions. "The tendency of MPs to speak and leave during the session has increased. MPs must remain present throughout the session unless there is an urgent matter. It is inappropriate to show up only to maintain the quorum at the end of the session," he said.


Ghimire further said that a schedule had been set to facilitate MPs' participation, but attendance issues persisted.
